Broccoli

Cole has always been a good eater, even including vegetables. He likes green beans so much I'm afraid he might turn into one. The other night I gave him steamed broccoli, and he ate it. He pushed it around on his plate forever, but once he put some in his mouth he couldn't get enough.

OKC Zoo

A couple of weeks ago, Cole and I went to the Zoo for a few hours. We didn't stay long so they aren't very many pics.

Elmo's Green Thumb

For Cole's birthday this year, we opted out of toys, and decided to get Cole tickets to see Elmo Live instead. He loved it...and almost made it through the whole thing. (Don't those people know kids can't sit through an intermission...THEY GET BORED!!!)
